Oriole signed LHP Cesar Cabral to a minor league contract.

He'll presumably be invited to spring training. Cabral allowed three runs in his lone big league inning in 2014 and posted a 6.28 ERA in the minors, though he did strike out 44 over 38 2/3 frames on the farm. He's a depth add. Jan 11 - 11:45 AM

Cabral had trouble staying healthy with the Yankees and performed terribly this season, allowing three runs in his lone big league inning and posting a 6.28 ERA in the minors. The 25-year-old will seek a minor league deal elsewhere. Sun, Oct 19, 2014 01:54:00 PM

Cabral successfully cleared waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. He'll serve as bullpen depth in the minors. Tue, Apr 22, 2014 09:50:00 AM

Yankees designated LHP Cesar Cabral for assignment.

Not an unsurprising move after completely losing his control and hitting three batters in the eighth inning of Friday's loss to the Rays. While it's possible he'll generate some interest on waivers, the most likely scenario is that he returns to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre where he'll attempt to get back on track.

Matt Wieters (elbow) is scheduled to begin catch and throw drills on Monday.

Wieters isn't expected to be cleared to begin throwing with any real force until March 17, but Monday represents a big step in his recovery. To this point, he has been limited to playing long toss. So long as he avoids any setbacks, there's no reason to expect he won't be behind the dish when the O's open up the regular season.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Friday that Chris Davis will get some playing time in right field this spring.

Davis has made 39 starts in the outfield during his career, though none of them have come over the last two seasons. It's just a matter of giving him some reps there just in case he might be needed at the position, as Davis is slated to be the regular first baseman.
